Robert Woods's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Texans wide receivers Noah Brown (back) and Robert Woods (hip) are expected to be active for Saturday's wild-card playoff contest versus the Cleveland Browns despite being listed as questionable on Thursday's final injury report, according to a league source. As long as pre-game warmups go smoothly, the Texans should have both Brown and Woods available. That would be good news for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who faces a tough matchup against a Browns defense that is one of the best in the league. In his first year with the Texans, Brown caught 33 passes for 567 yards and two touchdowns, while Woods had 40 catches, 426 yards and one touchdown. Nico Collins is Houston's clear No. 1 wideout, and Brown and Woods are both risky low-cost DFS dart throws in a bad matchup after sitting out the Week 18 regular season finale.

Houston Texans wide receivers Robert Woods (hip) and Noah Brown (back) are both listed as questionable to play in Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Cleveland Browns. Woods was limited the last two days in practice, while Brown only practiced on Friday. Both players were held out of the Week 18 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Woods is more likely to be on the field on Saturday to give Nico Collins some extra help in the passing game against a Browns secondary that is already down Grant Delpit and could also be missing two key members of their secondary. The 31-year-old Woods did very little all year and found the end zone just once, so he's merely a low-cost DFS dart throw if he plays. Brown would be a boom/bust lineup consideration if he's active on Saturday. Only Collins and tight end Dalton Schultz are realistic fantasy considerations as Texans pass-catchers this weekend.

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (hip) was able to return to practice with the team on Wednesday after he was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday. Woods was held out of the Week 18 regular season finale win over the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday, but the fact that he returned to practice on Wednesday, bodes well for his chances of returning for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the visiting Cleveland Browns. About the only way fantasy managers playing DFS this week will want to consider the 31-year-old veteran for a lineup spot is if Noah Brown (back) misses a second straight game. The Browns secondary is one of the toughest for opposing wideouts, and Woods had only 40 receptions for 426 yards and one touchdown on 75 targets for Houston this year. UPDATE: Woods was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Houston Texans wide receivers Robert Woods (hip) and Noah Brown (back) were both listed as non-participants on the team's Tuesday practice report. Both Woods and Brown were inactive in the Week 18 regular season finale win over the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday to secure the AFC South title. It resulted in Nico Collins going off for nine catches on nine targets for 195 yards and a touchdown, while tight end Dalton Schultz had five catches (seven targets) for 42 yards. Rookie Xavier Hutchinson had four targets. Woods and Brown will need to return to practice over the next two days to have a shot to face the Cleveland Browns on wild-card weekend this Saturday. If neither wideout is able to play, Collins is going to draw a lot of attention from a much better secondary in the Browns.

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (groin) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 18 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. This doesn't come as much of a surprise given Woods was considered questionable heading into this game. The Texans will be shorthanded at wideout with Noah Brown (back) joining Woods on the sideline. That means, Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson, and John Metchie III figure to start this game. Between the three, Collins is the only reliable option and should see a ton of looks during this must-win Saturday night matchup.
